I seen pipe fish, box fish and sharks recently....... 1stly there isn a market for it really, so all lfs's works with special orders, if u want it, they'll get it for you, but think of them if fish dnt survive,or don't sell..... Hence the special order system.... Box fish is a sAms aquariums special, they always have dem avail ..... Perky pets had a shark just lastweek an even a stingray ..... Exotic reefs also from time to time bring in exotic fish an crustaceans an then we have Elite aquatics who also brings in pretty awesum rare fish an crabs an so on.....

Yup some things do come in. bring in clown gobies there are lemon,black.red green etc

We are making lfs aware of what we would like to purchase. ordering without knowing price or if it will be obtained is like giving a person a blank cheque without assureance that they can or will deliver

If they sell hundreds of clowns and tangs a month don't you think they will easily sell a couple of rare fish? Look how fast the shark and ray you guys are refering to sold... You cannot be a very good businessman if you cannot see that one rare fish costs less to import and can sell for more...???

i went to a lfs i know and asked them the price on clown gobies and availability. the answer was that thwy are cheap and available especially the yellow ones and black ones. i placed an order and will hopefully recieve on the seventh of september. to those who want to sell only the supposed fast lines will never know how much business they are losing.

ps jusplayin livestock worth having does not stay on the shelf but is sold very quickly if correctly priced
and i dont mean giving it away. just ask any of the serious reefers and you will find them willing to pay good money for good stock. i dont mind paying a hundred rand a polyp for an exeptional zoa etc.ps i dont feel the same way about spses tho

I agree... Any "good businessman" will know you cater for the masses (cheap) but you also cater for the specialist (expensive)... That way you cover the WHOLE market...
